An Expensive Luxury.
N. 7. GraPhie.

Every silver dollar coined at the
minis of the United States costs the
government about two cents. At this
rate (and the average is low One) the
present stock of silver heaped up ia
bags in the treasury vaults has cost the
taxpayers over $1,000, 900, which il
rather a steep price for the country al
large to pay for keeping up the annual
income of few mine owners and OPP
orators.

Annther soldiers, Home

Wisconsin is to establish a State Home for
veterans of the war and their wives and the
widows of deceased soldiers. The site has been
selected at Greenwood Park, near Wanpaca.
DIR. T. A. Marden. of Milwaukee. chairman Of
the committee, says of the enterprise:
1.-The SUPPLEMENTARY and MatrOnship Of
the Home will be offered To Capt. A. j. Lang
worthy and his wife, of this city. He is a
member OF Robert Chivas Post and at present
at Jefferson, editing paper devoted to work
connected with the Order of Odd FelOws
The park is being used at present as a summer
resort, and possession will not be obtained uRtil
Sept. L. The managemt MT will be under the
direction of the Grand Army of the Republic
of this State. The Home will be the first one
in this country which will provide for the vet
eran and his wife, or his widow. The object is
to overcome the hardship that results from
separating a man rom his wife. Often the
veteran goes into Home and the wife finally
to the pOorhOnse, the Lord only knows
where. The Grand Army of this State feels
that no veteran should be separated from his
wife until death. It also believes that the
widow who IS left he pless by the death of her
veteran husband is entitled TO protection aud
care. and it was in the furtherance of these
ideas that the erection of State Soldiers
Home was undertaken. The State will apprO-
priate-S3 week for the care of each inmate in
the Home, while the Grand Army will meet
all other expenses. The buildings will have
to be furnished aud within the next so days
about $1,000 from the different Posts and
friends of the soldiers will have to be- raised
The Home will not be conducted under any
military discipline. but of course there will be-
some rules; nothing, however. that will inter-
fere with making life there entirely home-like,
with all that the word implies. Married vet
Grams who are in National Homes can gain adj
mittance with their wives, but only those who
are married or widows of veterans will be- adj
mitted. The anticipation is that the Home
will he enlarged by the addition of cottages.
The money for this. OF course the Grand Army
and Observation-Disclosures people will supply.
Already there are applications for admission,
and many more will follow. Ii is expected the
demand will continually increase Tor the next
ID years at least and that the Home will be in
use for 20 or p years 10 come. The deed of
the site selected is made to the Grand Army of
this State and is absolute as long as used for
Home, or some Home of a benevolent eharac-
ter"

Home the Place for the Sick.

Home comforts and the congenial society OF
loving friends will do more toward effecting q
cure, il accompanied by proper treatment, than
a long aud lonely sojourn in some far-away
famed health resort. One of the saddest word
pictures ever drawn is that of the resort for
consumptives described in Daudets "Numa
Rumestan." Visitors TO Pan or Nice are con-
stantly reminded Of the futility of the climate
cure by the deaths that thin the ranks of the
hopeful patients. Drs. Starkey & Palen there
fore recommend the Home Treatment by their
Compound Oxygen TO patients suffering from
lung or throat diseases as far preferable to a
Southern or European journey, with all the at
tendant vexaton and expense that travelling
entails. They will send from their office No
